Role:

Acquisition.com is on a mission to make real world business education available to everyone.  Our training division is the engine, making this mission a reality for thousands of business owners.  

Since launching earlier this year, we’ve empowered over 1000 entrepreneurs through our training division’s workshops.  We’ve grown by 10x over the past 5 months–on pace to bring in $100M in revenue by 2025.  More importantly, our attendees leave excited and transformed.  We have a 97% attendee satisfaction rate and over 50% of workshop attendees choose to continue working with us in more depth.  From this, we’re well-positioned to continue our massive growth.  

The Workshop Operating Partner is a crucial role that will enable us to scale by leading our workshops and our work with entrepreneurs.  The primary responsibility involves presenting and facilitating our ‘Level 1’ scaling workshops.  

Specifically, this entails:

• Presenting our scaling framework to workshop participants
• Serving as the Master of Ceremonies for our workshops and as the ‘face’ of our scaling workshops to attendees 
• Effectively ‘pitching’ entrepreneurs on the opportunity to work with us with more depth
• Coordinating our workshop team and events team to ensure smooth workshop operations
• Consulting individually with attendee businesses during round-table sessions for the multiple levels of workshops we host.

This role demands a mastery level of business acumen, presentation skills, on-the-spot problem-solving, and leadership.  To be successful, you must have a passion for teaching others; consulting with businesses; and running a fast-scaling business line (our training division).  

You will have an extraordinary opportunity.  First, you’ll interact with dozens of small, fast-growing businesses, which will ‘level up’ your knowledge and your network.  You'll also work in a fast-paced startup environment, playing a role in growing and managing a hyper-growth division from the ground up.  Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to make an immense impact in the lives of entrepreneurs. 

The 'pattern recognition' you will build on this job will be unmatched. After 2 years in the role, you will be ideally set up to start your own business, grow internally as a leader within Acquisition.com, or run one of our portfolio companies.   This is also an incredible opportunity to live in Las Vegas and learn from the dynamic CEO and leadership team at Acquisition.com in our new HQ facility.

• Act as a trusted advisor, subject matter expert, and point of escalation for workshop participants.
